I first purchased NuMorse Pro back in 2007 and still use it to this day. Whether you want to learn CW, increase your speed or simply just have a lot of fun, this is the software for you. Great product!

It's been years since I have been active on CW, like 57'. I found that NuMorse was really fun when compared to the paper tapes I used to get my original novice.

Not on HF for 20+ years, I found within 30 days I felt confident to get on the air working CW. NuMorse is worth every penny if you want to learn the code and be proficient when you make your first QSO.

I used NuMorse Pro to learn CW in a matter of two months. Its easy to configure it anyway you need to help you learn - your way. I passed the element 1 morse code test with a perfect copy. Don't waste your time with freeware - this software is worth every penny - if you are serious and ready to learn code.

This is the product if you want to pass the 5 word code requirement. It offers tons of practice and when you are ready it has 5 word per minute simulated QSOs to listen to. You can generate your own QSOs and listen to as many as you wish. The learning method is esssentially the Koch method. When you want to increase your speed an ability it produce practice with QSB and QRM to give you practice in real situations.

Returning to Amateur Radio after a gap of 30 years I was keen to be ready with a good proficiency level at morse so that when the kit arrives I can get straight onto CW with confidence. Using other morse tutors – random groups - my speed started to pick up but I was always conscious that it was not real world. There was a predictable word break every 5 characters and of course I was not trying to anticipate the endings of words. There was no QRM, QRN or QSB to deal with. I suspected that despite being able to copy random morse letters at a fairly high speed, with the extra workload of logging etc I would flounder. I will be operating as VP8 so expect also to be on the wrong end of the pileup !
Also being able to touch type I wanted a program that would automatically compare my keyboard input with what the program outputted. Going back through the text manually was tedious.

Then I found nu morse professional. The range of settings is extensive, both in terms of simulating real QSO’s, adding QRM, QRN and QSB – allowing keyboard copy (if you want), filters for groups of letters etc.

Initially I found I could copy at nowhere near the speed that I had been with the random groups. Simulated QSO’s with noise really stretch me – anticipating the ends of real words only to find that I was wrong threw me and forced me to concentrate harder. I have a weakness with punctuation, nu-morse allows me to set a filter to just selected punctuation to fix that problem.
Now my speed is steadily improving – I can contantly raise the bar just enough to make progress. I run the logging program that I have selected (AALog) and log the simulated QSO’s for practice.
I think this is the nearest thing that you can get to real-world morse from a computer program.
I’m not sure how good/bad I will be when I start transmitting on air – but I know I will be a lot better than I would have been without nu-morse.
Excellent !

NuMorse Pro is very a complete and powerful utility to learn Morse code based on the famous Ludwig Koch's method (1930s).

The speed can be set up to 50 WPM.
NuMorse provides several windows displaying the concerned character to display, its mnemonic image, the list of characters sent, and in option additional windows showing the speed of the lesson, your score and other settings.

All the interest of NuMorse Pro is in its "First step" feature that helps you learning the Morse code progressively, at a rate that you fix yourself, beginning with easy letters like E, A, N, to end with the punctuation and other more complex prosigns. The second advantage, it can read external text files containing for example the text transmitted during a real QSO.

An advice : as soon as the first lesson, begin to set the speed at 5 WPM, not slower (selecting a code speed of characters of 13 WPM for example and stretching space between characters of 54%). You will see that it is not difficult to understand characters, all the less that they are regularly repeated in the respect of Koch's method.

In addition, I suggest you to replace all mnemonic images with their CW representation (see my website for detail). In the original version for example "A" sounding like "dit-dah" it displays the phrase "A jar" with the image of a jar. I have found that mixing the outlined letter with its code representation inside speeds up and improved learning.
If you want to test this method, I provide on my web a zip file containing 31 individual files created in bitmap format to copy in the "\NuMorseSource File" subdirectory (move or rename first the original files).

I make the bet that using NuMorse Pro, working only 15 minutes each day, in a month your know the Morse code, a first step to get your full privilege license or to seriously work DX stations in the CW segment of HF bands.

A demo is available. NuMorse requires a registration. The sound per session is time limited by a counter. After some weeks, this feature is disabled if you don't buy the license.

NuMorse professional runs on all Windows 32-bit plateforms equipped with a sound card.

I bought it recently to get prepared for my return to the US where I can exercise my Ham license (lived in China the last 4 years).
Program is great and you learn fast.

Downloaded and bought the license, it is great for all levels. You set the characters, speed, follow program list or customize, etc. It gives feedback on weak characters and your progress. Uses Farnsworth/Koch method timing.
